County authorizes RFP for jail lighting and approves sole-source humidification replacement
Summary
Commissioners authorized staff to issue an RFP for replacement of the correctional facility's dimmable lighting system and waived normal bid requirements to accept a Culligan quote for a jail humidification system replacement, citing timing and continuity of prior installations.
Facilities staff told the board they want to solicit competitive bids to replace the dimmable lighting panels in the county correctional facility and to pursue applicable grants. The board authorized issuance of an RFP to gather competitive pricing and funding options to inform budgeting and scope decisions.
Separately, the board considered a sole-source quote from Culligan for replacement of the steam-humidification water-conditioning system at the jail. Staff said Culligan had installed the prior system and would honor a quote dated September 2024 through October 2025. The board voted to waive normal bid requirements for that repair and accept the Culligan quote to ensure timely replacement and preserve the quoted price.
Facilities directors said the RFP will help the county determine budget needs and potential grant opportunities, and the Culligan replacement is being pursued to avoid prolonged equipment outages at the corrections facility. The board asked staff to return with cost estimates and grant research prior to contract award where applicable.
